When the greenish-grey thing landed on the hatch Johnny got so much of a fright he jumped backwards, tripped over a tree-root and fell. His head hit a rock his eyes began to water.
Johnny shook his head from side to side, just like he'd seen people do on the TV when they got hit on the head, sat up and looked at the spaceship again. At the bottom of the ramp of the greenish-grey thing shook what must be it's head (It was the bit that had the eyes in it) and made a noise that sounded like "Snargle-flaggle-shood."
The alien looked at Johnny. Johnny looked at the alien.
"Hello." Said Johnny.
"K-phhlllut" Said the Alien as it turned around and looked at it's upsidedown spaceship.
Johnny stood up and walked over to where the alien was now kicking the side of the spaceship and making strange noises. It sounded to Johnny like the alien was a bit angry so he went to ask if the alien would like any help.
"Excuse me" He said, as his mom had taught him to be polite. "Do you need any help?"
The alien turned around and looked at Johnny. Johnny looked into it's eyes. All three of them.
"Aranda-crooft-grundy." Said the alien.
"It looks like you crashed your spaceship. Would you like me to go and get my mom to phone for a breakdown truck? There's a man in town that has a big truck that he can put cars onto when they stop working." Said Johnny.
The alien closed two of it's eyes and all of a sudden grabbed Johnny by the shoulders. Johnny felt like the time he felt sick after eating too much ice-cream but then something happened inside his head and it stopped. It felt like he was asleep. And dreaming.
Johnny dreamed about his school, which wasn't very much fun as Johnny didn't much like school. Then suddenly his eyes popped open and he looked down to see that the alien had let go of his shoulders, had closed its middle eye and was looking at Johnny with the other two.
The alien turned around and faced the open hatchway of his ship, made a noise that sounded like "Sspptalopootini-scrudge." then turned back towards Johnny and said "Hellllloo Chawny... Heylo Jawnny... Hello Johnny."
Johnny's mouth dropped open. The alien had said his name...

"Snargle-flaggle-shood." I can understand that...it's Afrikaans for "Oh, for fuck's sake..."
